2.1 Guild Tasks - Information Gathering

You get, on average, about 17 Gold per Gold Key. Here’s the math:

  • Task 1 = 5k = 30 Gold Keys; 30 Keys * 17 Gold Per Key = 510 Gold; 510 Gold * 30 Members = 15,300 Total Gold
  • Task 2 = 10k = 50 Keys; 50 * 17 = 850 Gold; 850 * 30 = 25,500; 40,800 Total Gold
  • Task 3 = 20k = 70 Keys; 70 * 17 = 1,190 Gold; 1190 * 30 = 35,700; 76,500 Total Gold
  • Task 4 = 40k = 90 Keys; 90 * 17 = 1,530 Gold; 1530 * 30 = 45,900; 122,400 Total Gold
  • Task 5 = 65k = 110 Keys; 110 * 17 = 1,870 Gold; 1870 * 30 = 56,100; 178,500 Total Gold
  • Task 6 = 100k = 140 Keys; 140 * 17 = 2,380 Gold; 2380 * 30 = 71,400; 249,900 Total Gold
  • Task 7 = 150k = 180 Keys; 180 * 17 = 3,060 Gold; 3060 * 30 = 91,800; 341,700 Total Gold

Thus, through Task 4, you’re actually getting more Gold than you’re putting in. At Task 5, you stop getting back more than you put in, but you’re still ahead overall. It’s not until Task 6 that you’ve essentially broken even (240k Gold in for 250k Gold out). At Task 7, which is the last one where you get Gold Keys, you finally lose ground, but you’re only down 50k (390k in for 342k out).

And, bear in mind, that’s just Gold you get from Gold Keys, which are literally about 5% of all your drops from those 670 Gold Keys everyone in your guild received (i.e., about 34 Gold Keys each). So, strictly in terms of total value, they’re a super good deal even if Gold Keys aren’t that sexy on the surface.

Obviously this assumes you’ve got a full 30 people in your Guild, but the lower level Tasks are still profitable at less than 30 members. For example, you break even on Task 1 with only 10 members.

Yeah, I’ve got a spreadsheet for the total rewards, but I didn’t know what number to plug in for gold per gold key. @Mithran pointed me to @Shimrra’s data: 2.1 Preview - Guilds - #525 by Shimrra - your 17 is pretty close to his 16.93.

I agree that the keys basically pay for themselves before even counting the troops, traitstones, glory, souls, and gems. Clearly a great deal!

Shimrra’s table is where I got the number 17 :slight_smile:

Confirmation:
Green 11 - 750k - 7 Event Keys
Brown 11 - 750k - 40 Glory Keys

Added the confirmations, thanks.

I can confirm that the level 9 souls task is indeed 400k gold for 800 souls.

Level 9 brown is confirmed correct.

Thanks everyone, confirmations added.

Thank you for compiling this

Just noticed that there has been a change to Guild Tasks. The cost for the 11th task is now 450k instead of 550k. I also calculated the cost to complete each color: 2.576M instead of 2.610M. Can anyone else verify and figure the new breakdown? My guild is already finishing our last color so I cannot…

It was said that this week will have a lower cost to guild tasks, as a form of compensation for last week’s task issues. It shouldn’t be a permanent change, it’s just for this week.

@yonizaf is correct

thanks… it seems very minor. But a gift is a gift nonetheless!

This week our blue 12 task is discounted to 650,000, but red 12 still costs the normal 750,000. Was it intentional to have them be different?

This has been so helpful for task allocation management. If there is a thread listing legendary tasks, could you link it to this post? Thanks for creating this thread.

While it doesn’t seem to have the costs, the rewards are discussed in this thread:

Red guild rewards seem different today…

Red:
1 - 80 Glory
2 - 120 Glory

Dang, mine are already done and gone for me to double check. I’d appreciate everyone keeping a look out.

Edit: Though, thats exactly what they were before…

I might be having a brain fart moment… I don’t think I’ve seen it at level 1 before, I assumed it was Gem keys all the way through… and I can’t read the OP properly… I saw a word starting with G and thought it was Gem Keys… I’ll just go over here and cook this egg that’s on my face…
